As our mobile devices have increased in capability, their battery and charging needs have also increased. Now you can have up to 4.2 amps of charging power in your car with this 2-Port 4.2A USB Car Charger from Monoprice!

This car charger fits into the auxiliary/cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle. It provides two 5 VDC USB charging ports, both with up to 2.1A of charging power. That is enough power to sufficiently charge two Apple iPads® at once!

Apple and iPad are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

I liked this car charger while it was working but as you can see by my Con remark, One of the two USB ports stopped working after 4 months. This is now a one-port charger so I give it a 5/10 rating. I stopped using it and now use only the black two-port charger from this site.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear one of the USB ports is no longer working on your PID 10239. If you would like, I can help setup a replacement RMA if within warranty. We offer a one year warranty for this charger and obtaining a replacement would be of no additional cost. If you wanted to proceed with the RMA, please provide the order number and I can get that going right away. My apologies again for any inconvenience and I hope this helps!

Regards, Gabby V.Tech Support Associate

Too wide!

Pros: Really can't think of any. It even makes a lousy paperweight.

Cons: Too wide to fit into the socket of the 2 cars I tried it in. I finally managed to cram it into the socket on my Jeep Cherokee just long enough to verify that it didn't work anyway. Getting it out was not fun either. It pulled out the whole socket the first time. I guess that is a pro: good for removing charger sockets!

I buy a lot of stuff from Monoprice every year because you can't beat the price. I expect that a certain percentage of stuff will be DOA or short lived...and it is. I was just surprised that this item didn't fit in the socket because I thought that was all standardized.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello Davejag,

Thank you for your review on PID 10239. My apologies for the fit issues experienced with this car charger. If I may ask, are you able to send me a picture of the damage that was caused so we can look into this matter further? Also, if you would like, I can assist you in setting up an RMA for a return or a replacement. Whether you decide to go with a return or a replacement, it would be of no additional cost to you. Please let me know how you would prefer to proceed and thank you in advance!

by DavejagHi Gabby, My car sustained no damage and I have to think that a new one would be the same size as the old, and hence too big. I have purchased other rechargers from MonoPrice that work fine, so I will stick with those models. No RMA is necessary, but I appreciate the offer.

by Monoprice AdministratorHi Dave,

It's great to hear that the car did not sustain any damage. I will submit a complaint regarding the fit issues experienced for our product team to investigate further. If you happen to reconsider the RMA, please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to further assist you. Thank you again for your feedback and business - we truly appreciate it!

Product failed too soon

Pros: Small, stubby size doesn't take up lots of space
Indicator light not overly bright
Two USB ports for charging
Appears to charge devices more quickly than other portable chargers

Cons: Failed more quickly than I had hoped (expected about two years failed in 8 months)
Sealed unit, so fuse cannot be replaced

Bought two of these and they both performed exactly as described. In fact, I'm happy with the product. What's annoying is one of them failed in a very short 8 months of occasional use.

by Steve BassShould have mentioned that I tried the charger in two other vehicles and it still didn't work.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

I am truly sorry to hear that one of the chargers failed after 8 months of use. I see that an RMA has already been set up for that charger. Should you experience any issues with the other charger or with the replacement, please contact us again for assistance as we cover this product with a one year warranty. For now, I will submit a complaint on this car charger so our product team can investigate this issue further. We truly appreciate your feedback!

Yikes! Hold on to your dashboard!

Pros: Two ports - seems to be good quality materials.

Cons: OMG, the dashboard of my 2007 Mazda was getting pulled right out!! Springs are just too darned strong!

I use this in my 07 Mazda, but the first time I used it, I had trouble getting it in (the silver metal on the sides that hold it in were so stiff!!) and when I went to pull it out, my dashboard bowed out with it. It continues to be so tight to get in and out, and I do it very, very carefully. I wonder what it's doing to my dash every time I use it. I purchased two of them, and they are both the same. So, seems well made, but perhaps it's damaging my car?? I wouldn't buy these again or recommend them to someone else.
